Luna Hush

Verdict of absolution, oh goddess
Pyres pure thy reverence, set upon a silent earth
Turning slowly, without motion, without sound
Trace in alabaster, the glow of filmy clouds part lips
One china cheek, a sense of awe flows golden its glimpse
Stream behold mirror, liquid pursuit softly sway
Inspirer of mellow mood, Gentle whimsy of night sky
Thy vision is the yearning between darkness and light
Prediction of waking warmth
Hold registry of noble man and maiden fair
To look upon thy veiled face, and know serenity

what a wonderful set of opening and closing lines in particular!:

"Verdict of absolution, oh goddess
  Pyres pure thy reverence, set upon a silent earth
  Turning slowly, without motion, without sound
  Trace in alabaster..."

"...Hold registry of noble man and maiden fair
  To look upon thy veiled face, and know serenity"

serious applause for this 'penning' !

Wow. This is beautiful.
You are my twin in writing style, although you are talented and I suck.
I just prefer attempting to write like this, the classical sounding style of poetry.
You are always perfect in this Kathy.
